Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) has opened the application process for its Recruitment 2026 drive for Class 1 and Class 2 posts. If you are targeting Gujarat state government roles through a competitive exam, this is the stage where careful reading of the notification and accurate form submission matters most.

What’s announced

The recruitment notice indicates that applications are being accepted online for Class 1 and Class 2 positions through the official GPSC portal. These categories typically include officer-level roles and supervisory/administrative posts filled via a structured selection process (often involving prelims, mains, and/or interview depending on the post).

Where to apply

Submit your application only through the official GPSC website:

Use the recruitment/advertisement section to find the correct post notification, apply link, and instructions.

Before you apply: key items to verify in the notification

Because Class 1 & 2 recruitments can vary by department and post, confirm the following details from the official advertisement before filling the form:

  • Eligibility: education requirements, age limit, and any specific subject/experience criteria.
  • Reservation rules: category benefits, EWS/SEBC/SC/ST criteria, and required certificates.
  • Exam pattern: whether the selection includes prelims/mains/interview, syllabus scope, marking scheme, and qualifying criteria.
  • Important dates: application start and end date/time, fee payment deadline, and exam date/expected schedule.
  • Application fee: amount, exemptions, and accepted payment methods.
  • Document requirements: photograph/signature format, certificate uploads, and any post-specific documents.

How to apply (step-by-step)

  1. Open the official GPSC website and locate the relevant 2026 Class 1/2 advertisement.
  2. Register/Login with your credentials as per the portal flow.
  3. Fill the application form carefully (name, DOB, category, education, address, etc.) exactly as in your documents.
  4. Upload required files (photo/signature and certificates if asked). Use the specified format and size limits.
  5. Pay the fee (if applicable) and ensure the payment status is successful.
  6. Submit and download/print the final application/confirmation page for your records.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Applying for the wrong post code or advertisement number.
  • Name/DOB mismatch between application and certificates (can create issues at document verification).
  • Uploading unclear documents or wrong file types/sizes.
  • Last-day submission that risks payment failures or heavy website traffic.

What to do after applying

  • Track updates for admit card, exam timetable, and any corrigendum/changes on the GPSC site.
  • Begin preparation based on the official syllabus and exam scheme for the specific post.
  • Keep originals of certificates ready for document verification if shortlisted.

Tip: Treat the official notification as the final authority for eligibility, syllabus, and deadlines. News reports are helpful for alerts, but your application should be based on GPSC’s published instructions.
